Juliet Cook<br />
Inside an Old Basement<br />
My tongue was pulled out of my mouth.<br />
A red tongue bath<br />
staining an old box.<br />
Broken lights.<br />
Broken bulbs.<br />
Broken glass.<br />
Another broken light blue egg.<br />
Nobody loves you he said.<br />
You might as well suck<br />
the dead baby<br />
bird out.<br />
What did I think he wanted anyway?<br />
Nobody wants all of me.<br />
They just want small pieces.<br />
Tear another part out,<br />
stick it in<br />
another box.<br />
Nobody will look inside<br />
after the blood dries.
